We also reveal which company made Santa’s iconic red-and-white suit famous. Curious? Slightly confused? Perfect. Find out in this Christmas edition of jen.n.xhausted. 🎅✨

From ale knights and bride’s ale to veils, dresses, and ancient phrases, we explore how many customs were created to ward off evil spirits, prevent kidnapping, and protect the bride. Turns out, fear, superstition, and a lot of drinking shaped the modern wedding.

If you’ve ever wondered why weddings look the way they do, grab a cuppa and enjoy this episode. 🍻

This week Jen and Jenn dive into the etymology of all things birth, pregnancy and the bone-deep fatigue that comes with it. Expect chat about the obsolete words puggled and mallifluff (aka: our current state), plus plenty of stories, two proseccos and a wardrobe because… we have absolutely no budget.

Cosy, chaotic and educational-ish.

Welcome back! Today we’re talking all things moppets—kids, the tiny whirlwinds who can turn a calm room into absolute chaos in seconds.

We love the wild things they get up to, but we’re also diving into something a bit unexpected: the language of “guts.”

There’s the gut feeling—that instinctive feeling that us females seem to have when something isn't right. 

 Then “guts for garters,” once a medieval threat, now basically what adults say when a child draws on the walls… again.

 And of course, “eating humble pie,” the classic moment when you loudly claim your kid would never throw a tantrum—right before they do… in public.

So today it’s moppets, mayhem, and the wonderfully weird words that remind us just how human—and hilarious—life can be.

Let’s jump in.

Jas joins us in the drobe to unpack the wild world of dating in your 40s. We also explore the cosy, bread-based origins of the word “lady” (very on-brand for two sourdough-loving Jen.n's) and share our hilarious run-in with a scammer, featuring Jen’s “uncle,” the Sultan of Zanzibar and the very generous inheritance.

Chaos, carbs and midlife mayhem… climb in and enjoy!

Back in the drobe and things are heating up - literally! This week we’re talking swullocking (that’s hot flushes for the uninitiated) and how different cultures actually celebrate menopause. Plus, we talk about our scammer, we uncover the etymology of matrix, share our new favourite portmanteau words and laugh our way through the chaos of midlife mayhem. Grab your gin and join us. United by fatigue, fuelled by laughs (and gin).

Back in Jenn’s wardrobe on a cosy Wednesday night, gin in hand and perched on a mattress because yes, we’re getting old… We’re serving up more laughs, obsolete words, and some truly epic food disasters (hello, belly timber and smiggle moments!). Plus, Jenn’s husband reveals the actual cost of sourdough—who’s got it right, Jenn or Mark? Get stuck in!

In Jenn’s wardrobe this week, we tumble into clumperton moments (yes, falling over again), sip our effoc like pros, and hear Jenn's story about Irish Handcuffs (holding two drinks at the same time). We’ve also got microwave mayhem, a high-heeled fact of the week and some late-night insomnia confessions from the drobe.

Because who needs sleep when you’ve got laughs, coffee, and chaos?

Things get a little milky in the drobe this week as Jen and Jenn dive into the world of suggan stories — that’s breastfeeding, for the uninitiated.

From half-asleep mums flashing unsuspecting posties to the breastmilk porridge story it’s all here — the crazy world of motherhood.

Our Portmanteau of the Week is leafaholism – Jen has it bad; Jenn not so much.

Grab your cuppa, pop on your comfiest bra (or skip it altogether), and join us for another laugh-filled episode of Jen.n.Xhausted .

This week on Jen.n.Xhausted, we’re back for round three of recording (thanks again, episode 3.0 👀) and things are getting a little… crapulous. Literally.

Jenn’s feeling a bit crook and ends up hugging a window (don’t ask, just listen). Jen has a story about musical skis (yep, that’s a thing) and we dive into our Words of the Week: Crapulous (perfect for post-wine nights) and Ambiternity (find out on the pod!).

And because we’re all about balance, this week’s positive affirmation is: “My body is a temple.” (Cue us eating fish and chips for dinner).

Three recordings in one week later, we’re still united by fatigue, fuelled by laughs. Come for the chaos, stay for the mayhem.

(Yes… you read that right—3.0 doesn’t exist. Turns out, we recorded a whole episode with the mic on silent. Classic us.)

In this week’s chaos:

👦 Jenn shares the story of her brother swallowing a 10c coin.

🏡 More AirBnB adventures you couldn’t make up if you tried.

🍼 Feeding babies at traffic lights—because multitasking is a Gen X superpower.

🎶 And yes, we’re throwing it back to Chumbawamba—because nothing says resilience like “I get knocked down, but I get up again.”

So grab your gin and come laugh along with us—unfiltered, unpolished and definitely unscripted.

United by Fatigue, Fuelled by Laughs.

Today’s drobe session is a special one – we’ve officially broken our own rules. 🎉 We’re joined by our very first guest, the wonderful Shoshana, who dialled in from her own wardrobe in Melbourne while we perched in ours in WA.

Shosh is a clinical psychologist and we dive into laughter: why it matters, how it helps and why giggling in the drobe might be better therapy than we ever realised.

Pour yourself a cuppa and join us for a warm, funny and surprisingly insightful chat about the power of laughter.

This week, you’ll hear:

• Jenn crying over spilt milk (literally).
• Jen’s questionable skills in being able to hot-wire her mum’s car.
• Plenty of swearing from Jenn—you’ve been warned (but honestly, it’s part of her charm).
• Listener stories that had us laughing, nodding, and sometimes cringing (keep them coming—we love them!).
• Our words of the week, because who doesn’t need a few oddball words to brighten the chaos of life?

We’re loving the connection with all of you—your stories make this podcast what it is. Send more our way so we can keep laughing (and groaning) together.

🎙️ Listen in, laugh along, and remember—you’re not alone in the madness. United by fatigue, fuelled by laughs.

Welcome to the very first episode of Jen.n.Xhausted! Jen and Jenn are finally hitting record and honestly, we had an absolute blast. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted, unfiltered chat between two longtime friends, you're in exactly the right place.

We’re sharing some of our own stories (we’re counting on you to send us yours soon!), playing with words that made us laugh way too hard, sipping gin and recording in one of the most unexpected spots in Jen’s house.

Expect connection, chaos, and a whole lot of laughs. United by Fatigue. Fuelled by laughs.
